> Sadly it doesn't sound like the law requires agencies to make the code publicly open source, it just requires inter-agency sharing

This is a good first step. The next would be sharing with states, municipalities and universities. Public sharing disperses a lot of IT responsibility that presently doesn’t exist.
Fun and an idea for Jony Ive. These days there definitely seems to be a trend of celebrities- Hollywood actors, professional athletes, politicians and political activists who publish children’s books. Usually without the memorable artfulness of The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Someone should make a Custom GPT.
Suggestion: instead of telling people to fork the repository, set this up as a GitHub template repository instead.

Example from one of my projects: https://github.com/simonw/shot-scraper-template
Completely different, but probably still full of the same basic wars, bigotry, tribalism, brutality and all the other shining facets of our basic human nature.
That's the tricky loophole. My understanding of this situation is that there are indeed different artists that are taking the time to comppose a track.

But they instead treat this process as an assembly line instead of an artistic pursuit. They give a template, so every song is going to sound similar, only giving a few freedoms to each artist.

Templating is almost second nature in tech, but in something like art it feels like there's this ethereal barrier being breached. It's like making a song then paying 10 other people to remix it. But worse because at least remixes disclose the template.
Chorder, a command line tool for writing streamlined lyric and chord charts
There are a million ways to create song charts with chords aligned above lyrics and in my experience, they are all annoying, so I made a simple CLI tool that does it for you. It takes input like this:
|D|I don't want to |A|close my eyes|Em|

And turns them into nice neat chord charts.

You can also transpose, or use a txt file input and save to a txt file too, and even switch from sharps to flats if you are so inclined.

Enjoy!

HN has a thing specifically for showing and getting feedback on something you've made - take a look at https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22336638

You could post as a Show HN when you are ready for people to try it out.
Very nice especially the pedagogy. A little bit of code (in a top-down manner) together with the corresponding explanation for a complete app is how things used to be explained in the old days. I still remember studying Al Stevens' book Turbo C: Memory Resident Utilities, Screen I-O and Programming Techniques (for DOS) and learning how to layer software viz. 1) a layer over BIOS, 2) a layer to draw windows using (1) 3) a desktop manager using (2) 4) a text editor 5) making the editor memory-resident. Reading that book really taught me how to use C to build a non-trivial app.

A very good Unix book with lots of projects like shell, token ring etc. is Practical UNIX Programming: A Guide to Concurrency, Communication, and Multithreading by Kay Robbins and Steven Robbins. It's 2nd edition is named UNIX Systems Programming: Communication, Concurrency and Threads. The code given in the book is really illuminating.
This sounds much like the "Replicators" from Stargate: SG1.

Quite a lot can be built reliably with Javascript following only "use ===". YMMV. Typescript doesn't solve much unless you use it religiously (and few people really do), it still allows for all kinds of "gotchas" if you want to write "gotchas" with it.
>I don't really remember ever having this smart shuffle thing where Spotify would add their own suggestions to my playlist.

I thought that was always the default behavior unless you paid or something? You find a song you wanna listen to, and then Spotify just spits out a playlist for you, in a Pandora esque radio way where you don't have control over the susequent songs played.

I liked Pandora back in the day, but there was something offputting about how Spotify implemented this. So I never really bothered and made my own playlists.
Oh and I forgot to mention that it’s all glued together with python, which replaced their previous non-compiled scripting language based on csh. (No shit. Yes, that csh. I do believe the first version of Houdini’s precursor came out in the late 80s. Wasn’t tcsh the application that spawned the turn-of-phrase ‘considered harmful?’) You can do pretty much anything with Python— not just glue work and making procedural parameters. But from what I gather, it’s not nearly as performant as vex or VOPs for doing per-particle or per-voxel operations when you’ve got more than a few million. I’ve never pushed Houdini’s Python that far, though, so that might be old news. Vex and VOPs are stricter on type, but are still garbage collected, etc so I don’t know where the efficiency lies.
I have them, I'm autistic. It happens and I have support infrastructure in place to make it less intrusive.

It's a disability, but I sorta reject the framing that I'm "not normal". Mostly because it feels a bit more culturally loaded? I can't articulate it effectively, but like, what I experience may actually be extremely normal ... for folks with autism. So, maybe "not neurotypical", maybe?

When using the original Terminus font failed, I tried the TTF version (Terminess) which in VSCode at specific point sizes is crisp and sharp. But with Ghostty, it was blurry and hard to read. At that point I gave up trying.
Lua is a great language for extending systems and very high-level scripting. I like it. I had the pleasure of teaching a module in 2020 together with Roberto Ierusalimschy where we used Lua and LPeg to teach students how to write a simple programming language. It was a very fun class.
I stopped using Windows in the Windows 7 era, so I am not used to seeing it.
Most DOE contracts (the ones the government has with the university or consortium running the lab) usually say something to the effect of “unless you can prove this source code is marketable/SBIR worthy, you can keep it private or open source it (but not under the GPL). There’s exceptions, but the reasoning was also there to say that _other_ contractors should retain the ability to modify source code and similarly not release it (presumably defense was my guess).

So the bar has been high to
keep it private for $$$ reasons, but you could always keep it private for any other reason.

DOE Code is the program that ostensibly tracks the open source software, usually just through github organizations. OSTI is the division that tracks all IP and research.

There is no technical requirement for discoverable credentials in most scenarios.

Sure, not having to type your username is nice, but I'll gladly still do that if it allows "passphrase-based paper-restore-able authenticators" such as the one you describe. (I have one of these, in fact!)

Many services I use that do support WebAuthN allow either variant to be used (i.e. they'll prefer discoverable credentials but will work just fine with non-discoverable ones), and arguably that should be how almost everybody ought to implement it.

Unfortunately, at least as many other services completely botch it, e.g. by making discoverable credentials mandatory, by allowlisting browsers (e.g. Paypal), allowlisting authenticators (e.g. my government's e-signature platform), or by using them in a functionally braindead way (e.g. Amazon, who for completely unfathomable reasons still requires TOTP behind WebAuthn, i.e. they replace the password with it, not the second factor).

So far I haven't noticed a strong trend towards enforcing discoverable credentials, but let's please name and shame everybody doing that. It's completely unnecessary.

Ideally, a body such as NIST would become the stewards of federal libraries that contractors are then compelled to use and improve. If the end goal is about cost efficiency more than any other ideal or objective, then that type of centralisation and reuse should be promoted and enforced.
Thank you for responding. Sorry for putting in in the wrong place. I will try to find out what I did wrong.
The feedback provided wasn't helpful. You're absolutely correct in that shallow dismissals aren't kind, but you're wrong about who was shallow and who was not. OP didn't dismiss anyone, nor was their comment shallow. And they don't owe you or anyone else anything as far as "explanation" goes, and they can filter out whoever the hell they want. Click the link and look further, or don't.

Meanwhile, dr_ketyn's comment was both rude and not constructive in the slightest (here's a tip: starting feedback with "I hate this" isn't constructive or kind).

Or, labeling yourself helps identify communities and systems that enable you to develop and grow more efficiently.

I'm autistic, I discovered this partway through my adult life. Labelling it has done incredible things to build support infrastructure. I have more energy and less stress now.

I'm queer, I discovered this as a young adult. It's connected me with whole communities. And most importantly, it's helped me discover and embrace the concept of a found family.

I'm a leftist. (Not a liberal, I don't vote Democrat). This label has helped me find opportunities to engage in mutual aid I genuinely find more rewarding than any charity work I've done.

Every time I add a label, I discover wonderful communities who help me explore myself, help me figure out what it means to be that label, and whether it's one I want to keep or shed.

There's nothing wrong with building an identity. You have to have introspection and periodically evaluate it, but labels are fine.

That's slightly better against people essentially accidentally letting attackers in, but still completely phishable by e.g. tech support scammers.

The big advantage of WebAuthN is that (at least for sane implementations, including all I've seen) there just is no way to enter an attacker-provided number and/or supply a displayed code to an attacker.

Maybe, maybe not. Human history has been drastically shaped by geography, causing humans to leave wherever they first evolved and travel across the world, becoming by far the dominant species.

Perhaps with different geography, humans would have gone extinct long before figuring out how to make fire or the wheel.

> The vendors claim that this is to make phishing impossible

They do? I don't see how, since non-discoverable WebAuthN credentials make phishing just as impossible.

The only thing discoverable credentials allow on top of non-discoverable ones is avoiding having the user type in their username or email address.
>If the algorithm ia recommending slop, and you are fine with it, actively listening to it, who was harmed?

Well that's the issue. I don't accept slop but it will sure keep trying to push it to me, no matter how many thumbs down and dislikes I throw at it. I'm still fighting all the stupid crypto recommendations from Youtube despite years of "I'm not interested in this" that I post everytime it comes up. In the end, the only proper fix was to remove my entire history.

Algorithms these days stopped even pretending they appeal to me, they appeal to what advertisers want you to consume.

>Nobody is forced to listen to the slop playlists generated by Spotify.

in the sense that "nobody is forced to use spotify, I suppose". But if spotify is the house and the dealer, spotify listeners have to go under a lot of friction to push back even if they don't like what is being dealt.
The bank doesn't eat the fraud. They charge it back to the merchant. That's why restaurants and bars don't like them, and if you fight the charge backs they raise the rates or drop you entirely.
Ah you got me, though I don't think it changes that much.

Even with an online 'form' (presumably a phishing page) I don't understand why anyone would ever upload private keys for their wallets.

In the case of exchanges, users typically don't get access to the private key for the wallets anyway, so pretending to be an exchange to phish for something the victim can't even provide wouldn't make sense.

In the case of a local wallet, the whole purpose is personal ownership of the coins—which obviously becomes moot when sending the private key to some random person—so I don't see why a user would upload them in this circumstance either.

Though yes, the situation is certainly more understandable than GP posting private keys to an online 'forum' ;)
>> If they provide that much value to consumers intrinsically, then why are banks paying the same consumers to use them?

The clue to this is in the question. Banks offer cash-backs (and other rewards) not Visa or MC. They do so because credit cards are a commodity and they need to differentiate their product from all the other card providers.

In effect some of the fee paid by suppliers is routed back to the customers. To suppliers the cost is part of doing business, and built into the price.

As a supplier I much prefer customers to use cards over cash. Cash is very expensive to deal with in any volume. And is far more vulnerable to theft (by external people, but also staff.)
So is Ghostty a faster version of iTerm2 and it is Linux compatible?
I had the same problem. I digged through it only cos it was #1 in HN so I knew something's up. If I had come across this any other way, I wouldn't bother looking past the home page. I don't think you have to be selling the project (financially or otherwise). But you will lose a lot of potential users cos you didn't add the description you have in docs right there in the home page.

> Ghostty is a fast, feature-rich, and cross-platform terminal emulator that uses platform-native UI and GPU acceleration.

Now after reading it, the name makes so much sense as well. GhosTTY. My first thought was alternative to ghost.org or something.
It's not in the wrong place and I don't think you did anything wrong, there's just a better way to do this here.

Your angle is "enshittification isn't illegal, peopel still buy it. Why complain?"

By deinition, complaints are always brought up by a minority. If we ignored that minority, we wouldn't have acts like GDPR and its offshoots. Nor recent enforcement on making it easy to unsubscribe. We may not even have physical consumer protections, like refund windows or false advertisement".

I find that the celebrity children's books are on average, terrible. There are some bright spots, like BJ Novak's "The book with no pictures". The worst is probably Jimmy Fallon's books, though. Truly awful.

I assume many are ghost-written, but maybe more of them should be.
There's clearly a high correlation though.
I assume you mean large language models specifically because AI as in machine learning is already pretty ubiquitous now in everything from fraud detection to machine vision and translation on consumer smartphones.

FWIW yes I think LLMs are the next big paradigm shift in software. Whether it’s as impactful as the internet depends on how the R&D scaling plays out but it’s clearly a significant development in human-computer interaction. We’re still basically in the 1994 equivalent in the LLM timeline while speed running the dotcom boom but even if progress slows to a crawl, we’ve got a decade or more of finetuning and exploring UX left ahead of us. The pace of development these last few years has been dizzying compared to pace of development of the internet. A few years ago I was sure an interface like advanced voice mode would take decades more to come to reality.
OpenAI is not a monopoly and has numerous extremely large and well funded competitors such as Google (gemini), Meta (llama), and Alibaba (qwen), to say nothing of smaller startups like Anthropic. The blog post blindly asserts it's a monopoly because monopolies are bad.

Taylor Lorenz also insists that everyone continue masking and social distancing for Covid and that refusing to do so in 2024 is equivalent to denying AIDS during the height of the AIDS epidemic. And she obsessively lies about her age to the extent that her actual birth year is listed as a range of plausible years on Wikipedia, since she's changed her statements repeatedly by wild margins. I think her compulsive, somewhat paranoid difficulty engaging with reality is important context when reading her (many) vague, unresearched, but extremely negative blog posts about tech.
You still think my comment was about ryeguy instead of the person I replied which is typically how comments flow. If they had clicked the link and read it, they would have seen why ryeguy posted the link that shows the evolution from the ‘original’. I’m really not sure why we’re unable here

To the point, they even admitted “guilty as charged”. I mean, what’s the cause of the lack of comprehension?
To be clear, I'm not claiming that I think this was the original intent for implementing array indexes like this; I'm just theorizing that this might explain why this ends up being such a fixation when it comes to discusses downsides of Lua.

Heaven help us! clone/exec not posix_spawn, a shell needs to do things in the new process before starting a new executable.

There's more to a Linux command line (which is what the article is about) than processes. Other important primitives involve files, file names file descriptors, pipes, and sockets.
